Bio::Tools::Run::TribeMCL

  use Bio::Tools::Run::TribeMCL;
  use Bio::SearchIO;

  # 3 methods to input the blast results

  # straight forward raw blast output (NCBI or WU-BLAST)
  my @params = ('inputtype'=>'blastfile');

  # OR

  # protein_id1 protein_id2 evalue_magnitude evalue_factor
  # for example: 
  # proteins ENSP00000257547  and ENSP00000261659
  # with a blast score evalue of 1e-50
  # and proteins O42187 and ENSP00000257547
  # with a blast score evalue of 1e-119
  # entry would be

		[qw(O42187 ENSP00000257547 1 119)]];
  my @params = ('pairs'=>\@array,I=>'2.0');

  # OR

  # pass in a searchio object 
  # slowest of the 3 methods as it does more rigourous parsing
  # than required for us here

  my $sio = Bio::SearchIO->new(-format=>'blast',
                               -file=>'blast.out');
  my @params=('inputtype'=>'searchio',I=>'2.0');


  # you can specify the path to the executable manually in the following way
  my @params=('inputtype'=>'blastfile',I=>'2.0',

  # to run

  my $fact = Bio::Tools::Run::TribeMCL->new(@params);

  # Run the program
  # returns an array reference to clusters where members are the ids
  # for example :2 clusters with 3 members per cluster:
  #  $fam = [ [mem1 mem2 mem3],[mem1 mem2 mem3]]

  # pass in either the blastfile path/searchio obj/the array ref to scores
  my $fam = $fact->run($sio); 

  # print out your clusters

  for (my $i = 0; $i <scalar(@{$fam}); $i++){
    print "Cluster $i \t ".scalar(@{$fam->[$i]})." members\n";
    foreach my $member (@{$fam->[$i]}){
      print "\t$member\n";
    }
  }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

TribeMCL is a method for clustering proteins into related groups,
which are termed 'protein families'. This clustering is achieved by
analysing similarity patterns between proteins in a given dataset, and
using these patterns to assign proteins into related groups. In many
cases, proteins in the same protein family will have similar
functional properties.

TribeMCL uses a novel clustering method (Markov Clustering or MCL)
which solves problems which normally hinder protein sequence
clustering.

Reference:

  Enright A.J., Van Dongen S., Ouzounis C.A; Nucleic Acids
  Res. 30(7):1575-1584 (2002)

You will need tribe-matrix (the program used to generate the matrix
for input into mcl) and mcl (the clustering software) available at:

  http://www.ebi.ac.uk/research/cgg/tribe/ or
  http://micans.org/mcl/.

Future Work in this module: Port the tribe-matrix program into perl so
that we can enable have a SearchIO kinda module for reading and
writing mcl data format

=head1 FEEDBACK

=head2 Mailing Lists

User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other
Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to one
of the Bioperl mailing lists. Your participation is much appreciated.

  http://bioperl.org/wiki/Mailing_lists  - About the mailing lists

=head2 Support 

Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

I<bioperl-l@bioperl.org>

rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and 
reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly 
address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem 
with code and data examples if at all possible.

=head2 Reporting Bugs

Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track
the bugs and their resolution.  Bug reports can be submitted via the
web:

# You will need to enable mcl and tribe-matrix to use this wrapper. This
# can be done in (at least) two ways:
#
# 1. define an environmental variable TRIBEDIR 
# export TRIBEDIR =/usr/local/share/mclbin/
# where the tribe-matrix and mcl programs are located.
#you probably need to copy them individually to the same directory
#if the installation puts them in different directories. or simply put them in
#your standard /usr/local/bin
#
# 2. include a definition of an environmental variable TRIBEDIR in
# every script that will use TRIBEMCL.pm
# $ENV{TRIBEDIR} = '/usr/local/share/mclbin/;
#
#3. Manually set the path to the executabes in your code:
